After the historic National Convention of BSNL Employees on “Revival of BSNL” on 3rd August 2013, the Forum continues its work in right earnest. Kerala Circle has successfully conducted the Circle Convention at Trichur. U.P.(East) Circle has scheduled the Convention on 15th of October. Other circles are also planning to hold the same. The Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations, Circle units should take initiative.
As far as the National Forum is concerned, after the Convention, the Forum has met many Members of Parliament during the last session. Letters enclosing the copy of the Declaration adopted at the National Convention have been sent to about 100 prominent MPs of all parties, including many Ministers. Some of the M.P.s like Basudeb Acharya, Gurudas DasGupta, P.R.Natarajan Khagan Das, Dr. Sanjeeva Redddy and others have written to the Prime Minister / Finance Minister / Communications Minister forwarding our Memorandum / Declaration adopted in the Convention. We thank them all.
The Forum has written to all the Chief Ministers of the States forwarding the Declaration and requesting for support and also to ensure that all the state government Departments and state PSUs are mandated to use BSNL Services.
The Editors of Newspapers have been approached for giving wide publicity to our campaign for Revival of BSNL. The Convener personally met some of the Editors/Correspondents and requested for publishing supportive write ups.
The Forum Convener has also written to the All India Federations / Unions like Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers, NFPE, AIIEA, AIDEF, BEFI, AISGEF etc. and requested for support and solidarity in our campaign.

The Group of Ministers have already taken some decisions on the points we also raised. It has recommended to the government to refund the Spectrum Charges both to BSNL and MTNL. More close co-ordination between BSNL and MTNL is being envisaged. The Secretary DOT and other top officers have mentioned well about our efforts.

The 13th Anniversary of the formation of BSNL falls on 1st October 2013. Let our campaign and effort be increased in the 14th year of BSNL. This financial year (2012-13) it is stated that the loss has come down a little. Our effort should ensure that in 2013-14, there is no loss.

If the 2.5 laklh employees, their organisations and the BSNL Management put all their effort for strengthening BSNL and pressurise the government to implement its assurances, it is sure that there will be good improvement in development and services. Let us make sustained effort towards this goal. BSNL is sure to survive and strengthened.
